The social capital that has value for a young person's development does not reside solely within the family. It can be found outside as well in the community consisting of the social relationships that exist among parents, in the closure exhibited by this structure of relations, and in the parents' relations with the institutions of the community.

DEFINE: Clarifies that social capital extends beyond the family to encompass community-level parent relationships and institutional ties.
